The trial OF the Coiiman case, in the
criminal court, was resumed ycsterdaS
morning. The jury recalled Moses Davis,
who testified Wednesday evening, and
asked him to explain the relative positions
OF Thorn's residence and the barn. Davis
had sworn that he and Wright met Dick
Walker and Thorn and the deceased com
ing from Colfman's shed.
The next witness was Mrs. Thorn, the
wife OF the sick State witness, Charles
Thorn. She Is q respectable and rather
| pretty looking woman. Mrs. Thorn said
that her husband had gone out Just after
supper, TO bed the fire ut the mill, and re-
turned in about five minutes. Between 8
and 9o'clock Walker passed by with the
| negro, Jim Eastman, going 10 Coilmans
Office. Thorn had gone ont after them,
and remained absent fifteen or twenty
minutes, and on coming back told her OF
what was going 10 be done. lie went ont
once more, and on his return stayed all
night, without going out again. About II
| o'clock she heard two pistol shots, and in
few minutes three more.
On the crusS-eXanination witness sud
she had not told Mrs. McMaury that Cofi-
man did not have anything 10 do with the
killing. She had had several talks with
the lady mentioned, and had said that
Charles, her husband, was not at the kill
ing. She was sick on the night Of the
murder and was lying down most of the
time. She saw through the cracks of the
house Walker and the negro Eastman walk
ing along the road. She didn't remember
hearing any wagons come back from Bruins
wick that night.
MIS- T.. G. McMaury was brought for.
ward. She said that Mrs. Thorn had talked
with her about the killing of the negro,
and said she could clear her husband OF
any completely in IL. She said that Con.
man was too nice n man TO he mixed up in
such crime, and she didn't believe he
was. Afterward she had said her husband
asked her ii she did not remember his get !.
ting mp once TO get some water. and her
going 70 sleep after he got mp. Ms Thorn
had told her that she didn't hear the pistol
shots. Tho evidence OF Mrs. McMaury |
closed the testimony.
Charles Thorn was called in by one OF |
the jury and stated that there were five
pistol shots, the first two about half min |
ute apart, and the last three in quick sue
cCssion.
ihIs concluded the testimony, and argu-
Dent OF counsel was resumed. Mr.. Henry |

WASHINGTON, April 23.-In mitigating
the sentence of dismissal passed by court
martial upon Mai. F. w. Benteen for
conduct unbecoming an officer and gen
tleman, President Cleveland says THE
proceedings and findings in the case of
of Maj. Frederick w. Benteen. 9th
United States cavalry, are hereby APP
proved. In view of his long and honora-
Bile service and the reputation he has
earned for bravery and soldierly qualities,
so sadly injured by the scandalous CON
duct of which he has Justly been found
guilty, and by his insubordinate behav-
Tor upon his trial, l have determined, in
the hope that a remaining sense of honor
and an u~nextinguished regard for his mil
itary profession will lead to further valua-
Bile service in the army, to mitigate the
sentence of dismissal from the service to
suspension from rank and duty for the
term of one year upon half pay"

Frozen Up.

MONTREAL, April 23.-While iunu-
merable families are imprisoned in resi-
dences gazing upon the continuous pro-
cession of skifs, pleasure boats and indie
scribable floats and RATS, the water shows
no signs OF abating. Many tenants are
beginning to feel the necessity of an in
creased supply of provisions. There is
every reason to believe the worst has yet
to come-and very soon, unless some
thing marvellous destroys the ice dam OPP
posite the Tongue point, now as solid as
a wall of masonry. The city surveyor re-
turned from an inspection of the dam,
and prophesies that citizens have yet to
see the worst of the flood; He reports
the Canadian Pacific railway bridge in
great danger of being swept away, The
water is again rising.

SUSPENSION
The Long Haul Section.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The inter
state commerce commission has made an
order suspending the 4th section for sey-
enty-five days, subject to revocation and
With a proviso hat intermediate rates
shall not be raised above those in force
April 20. This applies to the Northern

Francisco lines.
In the official statement accompanying
its order for temporary suspension of the

roads, the interstate commits
sion says it is earnestly engaged in con-
sidering the course to be finally adopted
regarding the section referred to. All
persons interested are invited to present
facts and arguments. The commission
will receive >afidavits as to facts and
printed or written arguments, which
should be prevented without delay.
Meantime carriers axe asked to devote at
tention to the preservation and adoption

in good faith the requirements of the act.
The commission has made no NSder in re-
spect to the petitions of Wisconsin roads.
An exhaustive opinion PREPARED by
Judge Cooley has been rendered inShe
matter of petitions relating to the Boston,
export trade. Briefly, his opinion is to
the effect that the suspension of the 4th
clause would not give the relief asked.
